- 1/2 lb pasta any long pasta like fettucine, spaghetti, etc.

Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. While water is working on the boiling, slice your tomatoes and garlic.
- When water comes to a boil, add salt, and then add your pasta.
- In a sautee pan with tall sides, add olive oil. When it warms up, add sliced garlic and let cook for a few seconds.
- Then add tomatoes and let soften. You can use your spoon to mash up some as they soften to create more "sauce"
- Add a little pasta water to the tomatoes to help soften and create a sauce.
- Continue to cook tomatoes on a medium low flame. When the pasta is ready, use tongs to directly add it to the tomato sauce. The extra water will continue to build the sauce.
